I guess that makes sense. I was a pretty good team, I think I ended up as the 3rd seed that year. I offered Mikal Bridges, Julius Randle, an auto-generated rookie, and 2 first round picks for I think an expiring JJJ, which was the best match for value in terms of young players/win-now players. Boston was a good team, about the same caliber as me actually. That may be why they didn't want to trade with me because I was a conference rival. But all these things that go into AI trading are really cool, even if the GM was just a bad GM that's really cool. Loving the game so far.
If you'd like me to send you the save anyway, just let me know.
